Re: Spawn a process without exec

[John Cupitt <jcupitt gmail com>]

sounds like you want to start a child thread:

  http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/glib/glib-Threads.html

there are some 'gotchas' if you have several threads all calling the
same GTK. It's usually best (IMO) to have all of the GTK calls in one
thread and to use something like an asyncqueue for workers to tell the
GUI thread what to do.
